Blue vs. Grey Seersucker

J. Cogburn · May 16, 2010

Blue & white (or blue & cream) is the classic look of course, but the grey & white seersucker strikes me as a bit more sophisticated. Thinking of picking one up this month. If you can only have one, which would you choose?

depends - a full suit? I would go with the blue. Odd jacket? Grey. Pants? Blue.

Full suit.

I think Blue & white is fit for my taste. It looks smart and spirit.

I'm a fan of grey and white. I'm also a fan of deep blue and white.

Blue is definitely more classic, but grey has a much more sophisticated look to it

I think BB got the wrong size on the dude there - those sleeves are hella short.

If you're only going to have one seersucker suit, I think it should be blue and white/cream. Just looks more summery and light. Not sure why you would want a seersucker suit to look sophisticated anyways.

Wore a gray and white to my daughter's graduation today. Looked good as an odd jacket with khakis, pale yellow shirt and blue tartan-ish tie. Much more versatile than the classic blue/white which looks like a suit-minus-pants.

There was a young guy there in a really brilliant blue white seersucker suit. Orange-ish bowtie and pocket square. Looked super. Of course, he killed it with clunky, square toed brown shoes.

One I don't see too much of is cream and white. In fact I've never seen it worn in the wild.

Skin tones also matter. I am fair skinned, so for me, the grey jacket wins hands down.
Seersucker is also available in multicolors if you look around.

I've seen a few cream/beige and white seersucker suits but from a distance they seem to look more like a tan poplin suit.

Last s/s BB Black Fleece had one in red, white, blue. It was perfect for the Fourth of July.

I was contemplating a choice of seersucker several months ago. I decided against the classic blue which left the grey or cream choices. I ultimately opted for the cream/tan and white from Press. My understanding was that some of the grey jackets had more heavily padded shoulders while the cream did not.

The Browne's stylistic cut on trousers does not go well with waistcoat. Due to the low rise of his trousers, his waistcoats seem to be designed with longer vertical drop to cover his shirt in the seating position. But this adherence to tradition, esp. when coupled with the ankle length trousers, exihibit a rather comical fit. Browne's designs remind me of the sixth blade on the Gillette Fusion razor.
